hi guys and girls.....
just picked up a red/black 1000F to get me onto two wheels...price was far too good to say no. very happy with it so far based in retford/worksop area of the midlands and looking for others to ride with to improve my skills.
a few pics. what do you all think...

 

That is very nice! Congrats!

Welcome aboard Folly.

 

Oh man!! That is nice! I just got the same bike, I think. Is that a 1990? Mine is a 1990 but is in worst condition that that one. Is mechanicaly sound; however, the fairings are banged up. It is my project bike and little by little, I'll get it looking sharp like yours. If you are a new rider, always keep in mind that these bikes are very top heavy. It plays a factor in the way you ride them. Congrats on your bike man, is sweet!

 

Thanks,
Its a ’91. I’m really pleased with her, just needs a touch up here and there (fork legs/grab rail/rims) I also think somebody has been cutting at the bottom of the exhaust heat shields for whatever reason but if I change the exhaust they would be redundant. I am slowly getting there with the weight and size of it. I think i may also take a few advanced training days to help with my overall riding. Hope to see your pics of your project as it comes along....

Hey Folly,
Very nice machine. A 91 you say? Hmmm.... they don't make 'em like that no more. I know someone with a 91. Me! Ha ha!!!
You'll grow to love it more every time you ride.

If you fancy a ride, us Suthern bastards are doing a bit of romp round the south coast this weekend. You're most welcome to come if you can make it.

By the way, who does the Pan belong to? Nice machine too. I've been riding with a lot of those lately.

Keep safe. Look forward to meeting up with you some time.
Don't forget to update your profile to say where you are.

 

Welcome from Florida via Afghanistan

 

very nice.

need a ride out to get you up to speed (well not strictly)

 

hi elevensies I’m up for a ride out mate, posted in your other thread
HenryM cheers for the welcome, the pan is the new touring bike for the chap who I got my CBR from... I think your ride is a touch too far for me to travel to at this early stage (up near worksop) so when I know the bike more and my skill level is higher too then im sure I will be up for longer trips
mike63 yeah accord is mine, first Honda was a civic 1.5 that cost me £300 and ran and ran, that car sold me the reliability side of things, then another civic and another, then the accord fantastic (shame about the Auto box) and now the bike (the fun side to Hondas!!)
